How is it that Karl Rove can not get hold of Hillary Rodham Clinton's Medical Records?
Because he has no legal right to them. He isn't her husband, her legal guardian, or her doctor. Medical records are confidential, to protect the patient's privacy. (That means Mr. Rove's are confidential too-- a curious reporter concerned about Mr. Rove's sudden weight gain, for example, could not see the records of his physical exam without his permission.) There is no reason why Mr. Rove should have access to Hillary Clinton's confidential medical records, since he is not treating her for any illnesses. It should also be noted that not releasing one's medical records does not mean a person has something to hide. Most presidential candidates do release the results of their physical exams, but candidates have every right to keep certain records confidential. Further, it should be noted that Karl Rove is a Republican political operative. His job is to create doubt about Democrats. There is no credible evidence that Hillary Clinton is seriously ill, but Rove's job is to make you think she is. It's sad, but that's politics.
